Shocked and distraught, don't know what else we could have done. I don't want to think it's because we're Asian, but...

That totally sucks. I'm so disappointed for you.

It’s one school and these kids have agreed to go if accepted for whichever campus they chose. All schools will likely go down again this year, including Vandy, which is already reported to have record number of apps.

Vandy and Emory are peer schools. Not Vandy and Oxford. Nothing wrong with Emory having a satellite campus, but you're using said campus to knock Emory down a peg, which isn't fair. No one counts UVA wise in UVa stats, nor do they count NYUs 2 other campuses in its acceptance rate or do they count Barnard into Columbias numbers. You all only do it to Emory because you all are biased.

That’s right, but for the record, Barnard’s acceptance rate was 7 percent, and even lower in recent years.
It’s a wonderful school that doesn’t have to compare itself with Columbia. (And also is part of CU, get over it.)

https://www.columbiaspectator.com/news/2024/03/27/barnard-acceptance-rate-rises-to-7-percent-for-class-of-2028/

To state the obvious, Barnard has a completely different identity than Columbia, including its own admissions office. We need to stop giving attention to a crazy person who is trying to disown a third of the school because she is upset Emory has an ED acceptance rate above 30, which is also insane btw. Oxford campus admits have the same average stats as main campus, and wind up leading many of the clubs at Emory as upperclassman. And for those that are worried, the Emory parents I know irl are completely normal.

Oxford also has its own admissions office... Emory says Oxford has its own identity as an LAC. Barnard students take classes at Columbia just like Oxford students at Emory. USnews doesn't count Oxford in its calculations concerning Emory. You shouldn't either.

Emory considers Oxford a division of Emory, not a separate school. From the Emory web site, admissions page:

Oxford College is where Emory began in 1836. After Emory College of Arts and Sciences became part of Emory University in Atlanta in 1919, Oxford became a division where students could begin their first two years of a four-year liberal arts education.

Emory and Oxford offer equivalent curricula and maintain parallel academic standard

Oxford College and Emory College are academically equal and both programs are looking for the most qualified students

Oxford is Emory University’s smallest division but also its most diverse

This must be a trolll. No normal parent would act like this.

Are Emory's ED stats trustworthy?

Columbia also has general studies, which no one includes. The fact that people are so eager to include Oxford to Emory is telling. Emory is just forthright unlike other places.

Other than UChicago, there is relatively more insecurity about the reputations of these schools by associated parents/students. What this results in is one side heavily boosting or defending themselves and the other side thinking it’s entertaining poking fun and keeping them down. Also just becomes a vicious cycle. At the very root for both sides, is the appeal to the human nature of seeking status and self-importance.

Who is Emory mom? Either way, there's a Vandy grad in the thread lying about Emory's "40% acceptance rate" that's actually only 26%. Why even bring Vandy up in an Emory thread?

This is an Emory mom, for whomever asked. And the Emory wheel itself said the ED1 rate was 32 percent last year . We don’t need t rehash.

Yes, they said it was 32% for both campuses. They also gave you the stats for the individual campuses.

Vandy and Emory are definitely not peer schools.

They are sorry to say. Vandy, Emory, Rice, WashU all in same bucket.

Everyone views this differently — I see Vandy, Rice, Cornell and Dartmouth in one bucket, and Wash u, Emory and Tufts in another. Parchment cross admit data supports this distinction.

Could be the case for you but not sure Parchment would help your whole case here. Parchment shows WashU over Vandy 62-38 and Rice 54-46. Loses 40 - 60 Dartmouth, 44 - 56 Cornell.

Parchment is not reliable, at all. It is fabricated. It shows 62% Harvard to 38% NYU. 56% Harvard to 44% UCLA. Parchment is dog doodoo.

You are reading the Parchment results incorrectly.

For Harvard vs. NYU and Harvard vs. UCLA the percentages numbers are black, meaning Parchment doesn't have enough data to say accurately. When parchment has enough data the numbers are in green and red. It says that above the percentage numbers. ("If the results are in color, then the difference is statistically significant at a 95% confidence level".)

The crazy Parchment examples people cite are almost always "low confidence" results. When the numbers are in color the results make more sense.

Barnard IS a wonderful school...but its ED acceptance rate is over 25 percent and it accepts a very large percent of its class in ED. In this way it is very different than Columbia and its stats aren't included with Columbia's.
